Any quirks that nobara might have for someone looking to switch from windows to linux on a gaming pc (tower, not laptop)?
Some (possibly) relevant system specs:
Intel i5 9600k
RTX 2060
Two monitors (adaptive/G sync on my main).
I've heard that multiple monitors and/or adaptive sync has some issues on some distros which is my main reason for asking.
And a more tangential thought:
I've also heard that Windows installs tend to fuck with linux installs. Is this the case when they're on different drives? I kinda wanna just try different distros on a spare sata ssd, but my windows install is on my NVME which has a heat sync plate screwed over it, and I don't wanna go through the hassle of pulling it out if it won't make a difference.

I agree that everyone should stop using windows 10 this year.
Nobara for gamers, Mint for everyone else. Done and done.

And I fully agree with them.

I am helping by installing Linux Mint, I'm sure this is what they wanted! :) I like it much more than 10 :)

Well too bad, I can't stop using Windows 10 because I don't run Windows 10. Are they stupid???
